Blaupunkt is one of the oldest car audio brands in the world, founded in Berlin, Germany in 1924. Originally known as "Ideal," the company adopted the Blaupunkt (Blue Point) name from their quality-tested headphone products. Blaupunkt pioneered car radio technology in Europe and became synonymous with premium German automotive audio throughout the 20th century. Though ownership has changed, the brand continues producing head units, speakers, and amplifiers carrying on a century-long legacy.
